[LTP] [PATCH] netns_helper: Make iproute version check work correctly

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Zhu,

thank you for working on this. I also started to work on this before LTP
release, trying to fix it in the API, because there are more tests affected by
this (there is also mc_cmds.sh).

My WIP is to create tst_iproute_version.c, which would be used by shell and C tests.
I actually wanted to go little bit further to have general C helper for getting
version (but that'd have to wait after this is fixed). But as you were faster
I'll let you to finish it.

FYI my shell version.

Kind regards,
